Msys comes with an Rxvt (a terminal window which is resizable, has a scrollback that you can trigger by Shift+!PageUp, and text is easily selectable and pastable) which you can start by clicking on msys-rxvt.bat in the bin/ folder. However, with Rxvt, these issues are most apparent:
pushing via ssh is not working right now, it seems,
the pager is not called correctly (it is not connected to a tty),
stderr does not seem to be shown,
when vi is called as the editor for the commit messages, it does not get any input,
etc.
So while Rxvt is arguably nicer than cmd, it is not recommended at this time to use it.
The good news is that you can fetch via git:// protocol, and using msys.bat -- which uses the default Windows command line window -- you can use the ssh protocol.
(You might also want to try Console, a Windows console window enhancement. It shares a lot of Rxvt's features. --jondo)
